The anticipation started building yesterday when residents on the Facebook Ledyard Forum began asking for information about Santa’s arrival today . News quickly spread this morning that Santa and Mrs. Claus were on their way. Forum members were able to track Santa’s path as he traveled throughout neighborhoods in Ledyard and Gales Ferry.

For as long as I can remember, Santa arrives each year to our community with help from our fire departments. It is a grand tradition and one I look forward to each year, long after my son has grown up and moved from Ledyard.
